          <p>Drag the handle to adjust the minimum tree cover canopy (TCC) density for the visualization and analysis of Hansen/UMD/Google/USGS/NASA tree cover and tree cover loss. TCC density represents the estimated percent of a pixel that was covered by tree canopy in the year 2000, as determined from the analysis of satellite imagery. For the tree cover loss data, TCC density therefore corresponds to the density of tree cover <u>before</u> loss occurred. For example, if you select 25% as the minimum TCC density, you will only see tree cover loss pixels for which the original tree cover density was greater than 25%.</p>
          <p>Adjustments to the minimum TCC density only affect the tree cover and tree cover loss data layers. This feature does not pertain to Hansen/UMD/Google/USGS/NASA tree cover gain or to other GFW data layers or statistics. Tree cover gain is displayed with a set minimum TCC density greater than 50%. The minimum TCC density cannot be changed independently for tree cover and tree cover loss. A change made to one data layer will immediately take effect in the other.</p>
          <p>This feature is also available for statistics within the Country Profiles & Rankings. However, the adjustment made to the visualization and analysis through the map view will not be automatically reflected in other areas of the website. To adjust the minimum TCC density within the Country Profiles & Rankings pages, click on the settings icon.</p>

              <p>This data layer was updated in January 2015 to extend the tree cover loss analysis to 2013, and in August 2015 to extend the tree cover loss analysis to 2014. The updates include new data for the target year and re-processed data for the previous two years (2011 and 2012 for the 2013 update, 2012 and 2013 for the 2014 update). The re-processing increased the amount of change that could be detected, resulting in some changes in calculated tree cover loss for 2011-2013 compared to the previous versions. Calculated tree cover loss for 2001-2010 remains unchanged. The integrated use of the original 2001-2012 (Version 1.0) data and the updated 2011–2014 (Version 1.1) data should be performed with caution.</p>

              <p>For the purpose of this study, “tree cover” was defined as all vegetation taller than 5 meters in height. “Tree cover” is the biophysical presence of trees and may take the form of natural forests or plantations existing over a range of canopy densities. “Loss” indicates the removal or mortality of tree canopy cover and can be due to a variety of factors, including mechanical harvesting, fire, disease, or storm damage. As such, “loss” does not equate to deforestation.</p>

              <p>When zoomed out (< zoom level 13), pixels of loss are shaded according to the density of loss at the 30 x 30 meter scale. Pixels with darker shading represent areas with a higher concentration of tree cover loss, whereas pixels with lighter shading indicate a lower concentration of tree cover loss. There is no variation in pixel shading when the data is at full resolution (≥ zoom level 13).</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Overview</h3>
          <p>This data set measures areas of tree cover loss across all global land (except Antarctica and other Arctic islands) at approximately 30 × 30 meter resolution. The data were generated using multispectral satellite imagery from the <a href="http://landsat.usgs.gov/about_landsat5.php" target="_blank">Landsat 5</a> thematic mapper (TM), the <a href="http://landsat.usgs.gov/science_L7_cpf.php" target="_blank">Landsat 7</a> thematic mapper plus (ETM+), and the <a href="" target="_blank">Landsat 8</a> Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensors. Over 1 million satellite images were processed and analyzed, including over 600,000 Landsat 7 images for the 2000-2012 interval, and approximately 400,000 Landsat 5, 7, and 8 images for updates for the 2011-2014 interval. The clear land surface observations in the satellite images were assembled and a supervised learning algorithm was applied to identify per pixel tree cover loss.</p>
          <p>Tree cover loss is defined as “stand replacement disturbance,” or the complete removal of tree cover canopy at the Landsat pixel scale. Tree cover loss may be the result of human activities, including forestry practices such as timber harvesting or deforestation (the conversion of natural forest to other land uses), as well as natural causes such as disease or storm damage. Fire is another widespread cause of tree cover loss, and can be either natural or human-induced.</p>
          <p><strong>2015 Update (Version 1.1)</strong></p>
          <p>This data set has been updated twice since its creation, and now includes loss up to 2014. The analysis method has been modified in numerous ways, and the update should be seen as part of a transition to a future “version 2.0” of this data set that is more consistent over the entire 2001 and onward period. Key changes include:</p>
          <ul class="bullets">
            <li>The use of Landsat 8 data for 2013-2014 and Landsat 5 data for 2011-2012</li>
            <li>The reprocessing of data from the previous two years in measuring loss (2011 and 2012 for the 2013 update, 2012 and 2013 for the 2014 update)</li>
            <li>Improved training data for calibrating the loss model</li>
            <li>Improved per sensor quality assessment models to filter input data</li>
            <li>Improved input spectral features for building and applying the loss model</li>
          </ul>
          <p>These changes lead to a different and improved detection of global tree cover loss. However, the years preceding 2011 have not yet been reprocessed with the revised analysis methods, and users will notice inconsistencies between versions 1.0 (2001-2012) and 1.1 (2011-2014) as a result. It must also be noted that a full validation of the results incorporating Landsat 8 has not been undertaken. Such an analysis may reveal a more sensitive ability to detect and map forest disturbance using Landsat 8 data. If this is the case then there will be a more fundamental limitation to the consistency of this data set before and after the inclusion of Landsat 8 data. Validation of Landsat 8-incorporated loss detection is planned.</p>
          <p>Some examples of improved change detection in the 2011–2014 update include the following:</p>
          <ul class="bullets">
            <li>Improved detection of boreal forest loss due to fire</li>
            <li>Improved detection of smallholder rotation agricultural clearing in dry and humid tropical forests</li>
            <li>Improved detection of selective logging</li>
          </ul>
          <p>These are examples of dynamics that may be differentially mapped over the 2011-2014 period in Version 1.1. A version 2.0 reprocessing of the 2001 and onward record is planned, but no delivery date is yet confirmed.</p>

          <p>The PRODES project monitors clear cut deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon, and has produced annual deforestation rates for the region since 1988. The Brazilian government uses these figures to establish public policy, including defining access to credit in the Amazon biome, establishing deforestation reduction goals, and soliciting funds to reduce deforestation. PRODES historically used Landsat 5 images, but now also incorporates imagery from Landsat 7 and 8, CBERS-2, CBERS-2B, Resourcesat-1, and UK2-DMC. PRODES is operated by the National Institute of Space Research (INPE) in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment (MMA) and the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA). Since 2002, all PRODES data is publicly available online.</p>

          <p>Input images for each of the 220 Landsat footprints that cover the Brazilian Amazon are selected based on their lack of cloud cover and their capture date. The PRODES system uses the seasonal year, starting on August 1st, to calculate annual deforestation, so images are selected as near to this date as possible (generally from July, August, and September). From 2003 to 2005, analysts used image transformation to determine the components of vegetation, soil, and shadow using the program SPRING. These components were segmented and classified into the classes of forest, non-forest, deforestation in the target year, previous deforestation, clouds, and water, which are then manually corrected by experts. Starting in 2005, a new methodology was implemented which makes use of the open source TerraAmazon platform. The platform allows the PRODES analysis to be more uniform and can incorporate imagery from a variety of satellites. As before, images are selected to be as cloud free as possible. The images are then masked to exclude non-forest, previous deforestation, and water using the previous year’s analysis. Analysts then delineate deforested polygons in the intact forest of the previous year. More information on the methodology can be found on the <a href="http://www.obt.inpe.br/prodes/index.php" target="_blank">PRODES website</a>.</p>
          <p>This data set shows deforestation from 1997-2000, and annual deforestation between 2000 and 2014.</p>

              <p>When zoomed out (< zoom level 13), pixels of gain are shaded according to the density of gain at the 30 x 30 meter scale. Pixels with darker shading represent areas with a higher concentration of tree cover gain, whereas pixels with lighter shading indicate a lower concentration of tree cover gain. There is no variation in pixel shading when the data is at full resolution (≥ zoom level 13).</p>

              <p>A validation assessment of the 2000 – 2012 Hansen/UMD/Google/USGS/NASA change data was carried out independently from the mapping exercise at the global and biome (tropical, subtropical, temperate, and boreal) scale. A stratified random sample (for no change, loss, and gain) of 1500 blocks, each 120 × 120 meters, was used as validation data.  The amount of tree cover gain within each block was estimated using Landsat, MODIS, and Google Earth high-resolution imagery and compared to the map. Overall accuracies for gain were over 99.5% globally and for all biomes. However, since the overall accuracy calculations are positively skewed due to the high percentage of no change pixels, it is also important to assess the accuracy of the change predictions. The user’s accuracy (i.e. the percentage of pixels labelled as tree cover gain that actually gained tree cover) was 87.8% at the global level. At the biome level, user’s accuracies were 81.9%, 85.5%, 62.0%, and 76.7% for the tropical, subtropical, temperate, and boreal biomes, respectively.</p>

          <p>This data set measures areas of tree cover gain across all global land (except Antarctica and other Arctic islands) at 30 × 30 meter resolution, displayed as a 12-year cumulative layer. The data were generated using multispectral satellite imagery from the <a href='http://landsat.usgs.gov/science_L7_cpf.php' target='_blank'>Landsat 7 thematic mapper plus (ETM+)</a> sensor. Over 600,000 Landsat 7 images were compiled and analyzed using Google Earth Engine, a cloud platform for earth observation and data analysis. The clear land surface observations (30 × 30 meter pixels) in the satellite images were assembled and a supervised learning algorithm was then applied to identify per pixel tree cover gain.</p>



          <p>Tree cover gain was defined as the establishment of tree canopy at the Landsat pixel scale in an area that previously had no tree cover. Tree cover gain may indicate a number of potential activities, including natural forest growth or the crop rotation cycle of tree plantations. </p>

              <p>This data layer was updated in January 2015 to extend the tree cover loss analysis to 2013, and in August 2015 to extend the tree cover loss analysis to 2014. The updates include new data for the target year and re-processed data for the previous two years (2011 and 2012 for the 2013 update, 2012 and 2013 for the 2014 update). The re-processing increased the amount of change that could be detected, resulting in some changes in calculated tree cover loss for 2011-2013 compared to the previous versions. Calculated tree cover loss for 2001-2010 remains unchanged. The integrated use of the original 2001-2012 (Version 1.0) data and the updated 2011–2014 (Version 1.1) data should be performed with caution.</p>

              <p>For the purpose of this study, “tree cover” was defined as all vegetation taller than 5 meters in height. “Tree cover” is the biophysical presence of trees and may take the form of natural forests or plantations existing over a range of canopy densities. “Loss” indicates the removal or mortality of tree canopy cover and can be due to a variety of factors, including mechanical harvesting, fire, disease, or storm damage. As such, “loss” does not equate to deforestation.</p>

              <p>When zoomed out (< zoom level 13), pixels of loss are shaded according to the density of loss at the 30 x 30 meter scale. Pixels with darker shading represent areas with a higher concentration of tree cover loss, whereas pixels with lighter shading indicate a lower concentration of tree cover loss. There is no variation in pixel shading when the data is at full resolution (≥ zoom level 13).</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Overview</h3>
          <p>This data set measures areas of tree cover loss across all global land (except Antarctica and other Arctic islands) at approximately 30 × 30 meter resolution. The data were generated using multispectral satellite imagery from the <a href="http://landsat.usgs.gov/about_landsat5.php" target="_blank">Landsat 5</a> thematic mapper (TM), the <a href="http://landsat.usgs.gov/science_L7_cpf.php" target="_blank">Landsat 7</a> thematic mapper plus (ETM+), and the <a href="" target="_blank">Landsat 8</a> Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensors. Over 1 million satellite images were processed and analyzed, including over 600,000 Landsat 7 images for the 2000-2012 interval, and approximately 400,000 Landsat 5, 7, and 8 images for updates for the 2011-2014 interval. The clear land surface observations in the satellite images were assembled and a supervised learning algorithm was applied to identify per pixel tree cover loss.</p>
          <p>Tree cover loss is defined as “stand replacement disturbance,” or the complete removal of tree cover canopy at the Landsat pixel scale. Tree cover loss may be the result of human activities, including forestry practices such as timber harvesting or deforestation (the conversion of natural forest to other land uses), as well as natural causes such as disease or storm damage. Fire is another widespread cause of tree cover loss, and can be either natural or human-induced.</p>
          <p><strong>2015 Update (Version 1.1)</strong></p>
          <p>This data set has been updated twice since its creation, and now includes loss up to 2014. The analysis method has been modified in numerous ways, and the update should be seen as part of a transition to a future “version 2.0” of this data set that is more consistent over the entire 2001 and onward period. Key changes include:</p>
          <ul class="bullets">
            <li>The use of Landsat 8 data for 2013-2014 and Landsat 5 data for 2011-2012</li>
            <li>The reprocessing of data from the previous two years in measuring loss (2011 and 2012 for the 2013 update, 2012 and 2013 for the 2014 update)</li>
            <li>Improved training data for calibrating the loss model</li>
            <li>Improved per sensor quality assessment models to filter input data</li>
            <li>Improved input spectral features for building and applying the loss model</li>
          </ul>
          <p>These changes lead to a different and improved detection of global tree cover loss. However, the years preceding 2011 have not yet been reprocessed with the revised analysis methods, and users will notice inconsistencies between versions 1.0 (2001-2012) and 1.1 (2011-2014) as a result. It must also be noted that a full validation of the results incorporating Landsat 8 has not been undertaken. Such an analysis may reveal a more sensitive ability to detect and map forest disturbance using Landsat 8 data. If this is the case then there will be a more fundamental limitation to the consistency of this data set before and after the inclusion of Landsat 8 data. Validation of Landsat 8-incorporated loss detection is planned.</p>
          <p>Some examples of improved change detection in the 2011–2014 update include the following:</p>
          <ul class="bullets">
            <li>Improved detection of boreal forest loss due to fire</li>
            <li>Improved detection of smallholder rotation agricultural clearing in dry and humid tropical forests</li>
            <li>Improved detection of selective logging</li>
          </ul>
          <p>These are examples of dynamics that may be differentially mapped over the 2011-2014 period in Version 1.1. A version 2.0 reprocessing of the 2001 and onward record is planned, but no delivery date is yet confirmed.</p>

          <p>This data set, created by the <a href="http://glad.geog.umd.edu/" target="_blank">GLAD</a> (Global Land Analysis & Discovery) lab at the University of Maryland and supported by Global Forest Watch, is the first Landsat-based alert system for tree cover loss. While most existing loss alert products use 250-meter resolution MODIS imagery, these alerts have a 30-meter resolution and thus can detect loss at a much finer spatial scale. The alerts are currently operational for Peru, the Republic of Congo, and Kalimantan in Indonesia, and will eventually be expanded to the rest of the humid tropics.</p>
          <p>New Landsat 7 and 8 images are downloaded as they are posted online at USGS EROS, assessed for cloud cover or poor data quality, and compared to the three previous years of Landsat-derived metrics (including ranks, means, and regressions of red, infrared and shortwave bands, and ranks of NDVI, NBR, and NDWI). The metrics and the latest Landsat image are run through seven decision trees to calculate a median probability of forest disturbance. Pixels with probability >50% are reported as tree cover loss alerts. Alerts remain unconfirmed until two or more out of four consecutive observations are labelled as tree cover loss. For more information on methodology, see the forthcoming Environmental Research Letters paper.</p>

Deforestation monitoring in the Gran Chaco has been carried out by the non-profit <a href="http://www.guyra.org.py/index.php?lang=en" target="_blank">Guyra Paraguay</a> since 2011, using 30-meter resolution Landsat images for the 55 scenes that cover the Gran Chaco. The interpretation of forest change areas is done through multi-temporal analysis, which uses a base image from the last two years and a current image from the study month. Analysts use visual interpretation techniques to identify deforestation, including elements of tone, shape, size, texture, pattern, shadow, and context.</p>

El monitoreo de deforestación en el Gran Chaco Americano es realizado por <a href="http://www.guyra.org.py/" target="_blank">Guyra Paraguay</a> desde el año 2011, utilizando imágenes del satélite Landsat, de 30 metros de resolución espacial, para las 55 escenas que cubren el Gran Chaco. La interpretación de las áreas de cambios de bosque es lograda por medio de un análisis multi-temporal, en la que son analizadas dos imágenes, una base de los últimos dos años y una actual correspondiente al mes de estudio. Los analistas usan técnicas de interpretación visual para identificar deforestación, incluyendo elementos como tono, forma, tamaño, textura, patrón, sombra, y asociación.</p>

              <p>Viewing data for the first period available via the time slider may include alerts that reflect detections from the February 2000 to December 2005 training period as the algorithm "catches up" post-training.</p>

              <p>The GFW team has clipped out some data in regions where data quality is suspected to be low because of persistent cloud cover over identified ecoregions. This covers parts of Liberia, Venezuela, Guyana, Vietnam, Laos, and Burma/Myanmar. The current extent of the FORMA alerts is available for viewing here—<a href='http://wri-01.cartodb.com/viz/3cc0f4c2-56d3-11e3-80bb-c8600054c0d1/embed_map?title=true&description=true&search=false&shareable=false&cartodb_logo=false&layer_selector=false&legends=false&scrollwheel=true&sublayer_options=1&sql=&zoom=3&center_lat=-1.845383988573187&center_lon=16.34765625' target='_blank'>FORMA geographic extent</a>.</p>

              <p>The algorithm behind the FORMA alerts is constantly evolving to fix bugs and improve accuracy. As a result, what appears on the site and the results of analyses conducted on the site may change over time. It is important to always include the access date when citing FORMA. Analysis of FORMA alerts on the map should be considered definitive, as analysis is based on raw FORMA data, whereas the data on the map are optimized for visual display.

              <p>For the purpose of this study, “tree cover” was defined as areas with greater than 25% canopy cover (as determined by the <a href='http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/1087-3562(2003)007%3C0001%3AGPTCAA%3E2.0.CO%3B2' target='_blank'>Vegetation Continuous Fields data set</a>), and change was measured without regard to forest land use. Tree cover assemblages that meet the 25% threshold include intact forests, plantations, and forest regrowth.</p>

              <p>When zoomed out, this data layer displays some degree of inaccuracy because the data points must be collapsed to be visible on a larger scale. Zoom in for greater detail.</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Overview</h3>
          <p>FORMA is a near real-time tree cover loss alert system. It uses a cloud computing algorithm to analyze frequently updated satellite imagery along with complementary information on factors that affect tree cover loss, such as fires and precipitation. The system generates twice-monthly “alerts” for the world’s <a href="http://wolfweb.unr.edu/~ldyer/classes/396/olsonetal.pdf" target="_blank">humid tropical forests</a> that identify 500 × 500 meter areas where new, large-scale loss is likely to have occurred.</p>

          <p>FORMA is designed for quick identification of new areas of tree cover loss. The system analyzes data gathered daily by the <a href="http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/" target="_blank">MODIS</a> sensor, which operates on NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites. The FORMA alerts system then detects pronounced changes in vegetation cover over time, as measured by the <a href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/MeasuringVegetation/measuring_vegetation_2.php" target="_blank">Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)</a>, a measure of vegetation greenness. These pronounced changes in vegetation cover are likely to indicate forest being cleared, burned, or defoliated.</p>

          <p>FORMA alerts only appear in areas where the probability of tree cover loss is greater than or equal to 50%.</p>

          <p>Upcoming upgrades to FORMA include improving the resolution to 250 × 250 meters, and expanding coverage to tropical dry forest and eventually to other biomes across the global scale.</p>

        <div class='source_extended'>
          <h3 class='overview_title'>Methodology</h3>
          <p>This data set uses freely available satellite imagery, collected by the <a href='http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/' target='_blank'>Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)</a>, which operates on NASA's Terra and Aqua (EOS PM) satellite platforms and views the entire Earth’s surface every 1 to 2 days. The images help to reveal notable changes in vegetation cover over time using an indicator that measures vegetation intensity called the <a href='http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/MeasuringVegetation/measuring_vegetation_2.php' target='_blank'>Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)</a>. By applying an automated algorithm to this input and in combination with complementary data inputs for fire hotspots and global precipitation averages, areas where tree cover loss is likely to have occurred are therefore identified. The algorithm also employs parallel processing in a remote server system the cloud that enables the rapid analysis of these very large data sets.</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Explanation</h3>
          <p>Tree cover loss alerts appear when and where new, large-scale loss is likely to have occurred after 2005. Thus the alerts should not be interpreted as an analysis of total tree cover loss area but rather as an indication of an area that has a high probability of having experienced tree cover loss or disturbance over time. The system employs advanced statistical techniques to achieve the best fit to scientifically validate information on loss, measured as a probability. On the GFW website, alerts appear only for areas where there is a 50% or higher probability of tree cover loss. That is, alerts appear for a particular period when there has been significant loss in the area during or before that period.</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Temporal and spatial resolution</h3>
          <p>FORMA alerts are displayed on the GFW site as monthly data, and the site is updated each month. Users who download data for analysis will find that the underlying data set is actually available at 16-day intervals, intervals that do not line up perfectly with calendar months. Data is displayed at a monthly resolution on GFW due to the monthly availability of precipitation data input. Users can manipulate the GFW time slider to view trends in loss alerts from December 2005 to present.</p>

          <p>The alert system currently identifies 500 × 500 meter areas where loss is statistically likely to have occurred. Alerts for a 250-meter resolution version are currently being developed on Google’s Earth Engine platform and will be available in 2014.</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Geographic extent</h3>
          <p>FORMA alerts are currently available only for humid tropical forests (as defined by <a href='http://www.pnas.org/content/105/27/9439.full#ref-1' target='_blank'>Hansen et al. (2008)</a>, based on <a href='http://wolfweb.unr.edu/~ldyer/classes/396/olsonetal.pdf' target='_blank'>WWF’s terrestrial ecoregions</a>) spanning portions of 89 countries. The development team is working to incorporate additional data to extend the geographic coverage beyond the current extent. To visualize the geographic extent of the alerts on the map, switch on the “Humid Tropical Forest Biome” layer.</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Data applications</h3>
          <p>The alerts have been designed for quick identification of tree cover loss as it happens. This allows for rapid response and prioritization of scarce financial and human resources dedicated to forest conservation or sustainable forest management. Armed with this information, stakeholders can use preemptive methods such as on-the-ground visits or aerial inspection with high-resolution satellite imagery (less than 5-meter pixel resolution) to investigate suspected tree cover loss areas.</p>

          <p>In addition, the alerts may be of value to a variety of researchers who study both temporal and spatial patterns related to tree cover loss areas.</p>

          <p>Using the GFW platform, the alerts can be compared against other relevant data layers, such as protected areas and concessions boundaries, to evaluate the effectiveness of forest management practices across time and spatial extent.</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Accuracy and validation</h3>
          <p>Inaccuracies are an inherent part of remote sensing analysis. FORMA alerts appear in areas with a greater than 50% probability of tree cover loss, based on the algorithm described under Methodology. However, persistent cloud cover is a continuous issue in the tropics, and extreme flooding can also produce unreliable remotely sensed data that will result in tree cover loss “false positives” (alerts where no actual tree cover loss has occurred). Furthermore, the alerting system cannot detect all forest cover loss, whether due to the small size of the loss area, persistent cloud cover, or other explanations still being identified through GFW validation efforts.</p>

          <p>The major instances of false positives may occur as the following:</p>

          <ol class='bullets'>
            <li><strong>A random, "speckled" distribution of alerts across an ecoregion, or complete filling of a small ecoregion.</strong> Caused by limited or sparse training data, particularly in small ecoregions, which makes it difficult to tune the model there. As a result, alerts cannot be reliably detected. In a normal ecoregion, alerts are usually clustered.</li>

            <li><strong>A rapid explosion of alerts over 1-3 months covering a relatively large area.</strong> Caused by a significant, persistent drop in detected vegetation levels due to persistent cloud cover along coastlines, in mountains, or elsewhere.</li>

            <li><strong>Alerts in water.</strong> Caused by shifting water bodies. These alerts should be considered not necessarily as false positives but rather as ambiguous alerts requiring additional data for corroboration.</li>
          </ol>

          <p>The GFW team is working aggressively to address potential inaccuracies in the data through rigorous validation methods. Specifically, the GFW team is comparing the growing data set of historical alerts to other validated data sets, which are being used for similar applications.</p>

          <p><a href='http://www.wri.org/publication/satellite-based-forest-clearing-detection-brazilian-amazon' target='_blank'>This issue brief</a> demonstrates the spatial correlation of the alerts with the PRODES and DETER data sets, produced by the Brazilian Space Agency for the Amazon. The conclusions from the working paper help to illustrate the potential pitfalls of the algorithm, along with its strengths. Through future refinement and proposed crowdsourcing efforts, the GFW team expects the data quality of the FORMA Alerts will continue to improve.</p>

          <p>The Deforestation Alert System (Sistema de Alerta de Desmatamento—SAD) is a monthly alert that monitors forest cover loss and forest degradation in the Brazilian Amazon. The system generates information that is published monthly by <a href='http://www.imazon.org.br/' target='_blank'>Imazon</a>, a Brazilian NGO, through its <em>Forest Transparency Bulletin</em>. The monthly alerts are derived from a temporal mosaic of <a href='http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/' target='_blank'>MODIS</a> daily images that are scaled down from 500 × 500 meter to 250 × 250 meter resolution. The monthly results are then validated using medium resolution images from the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (<a href='http://www.cbers.inpe.br/ingles/' target='_blank'>CBERS</a>) and NASA <a href='http://landsat.usgs.gov/' target='_blank'>Landsat</a> data in order to “ground-truth” the results being reported.</p>

          <p>The <a href='http://geo.arc.nasa.gov/sge/casa/latest.html' target='_blank'>Quarterly Indicator of Cover Change (QUICC)</a> product was developed at the NASA Ames Research Center by the <a href='http://geo.arc.nasa.gov/sge/casa/' target='_blank'>CASA</a> ecosystem modeling team. QUICC compares the MODIS global vegetation index (VI) images at the exact same time period each year on a quarterly basis (end of March, June, September, and December) and identifies land areas that have lost at least 40% of their green vegetation from the previous product and over the past year. This level of green vegetation loss is commonly associated with major forest or tree cover loss.</p>

          <p>The CASA team updates the global QUICC products as soon as the newest quarterly MODIS worldwide VI image is produced. After September (Q3) 2012, the data were adjusted to exclude forest areas located >37 degrees north as a result of confusion caused by year-to-year variations in seasonal snow cover.</p>

              <p>Not all fires are detected. There are several reasons why MODIS may not have detected a certain fire. The fire may have started and ended between satellite overpasses. The fire may have been too small or too cool to be detected in the (approximately) 1 km<sup>2</sup> pixel. Cloud cover, heavy smoke, or tree canopy may completely obscure a fire.</p>
              <p>It is not recommended to use active fire locations to estimate burned area due to spatial and temporal sampling issues.</p>

          <p>Terra-i is a near real-time monitoring system that detects land cover changes in Latin America. It uses satellite data from MODIS vegetation indices (MOD13Q1 and NDVI) and products related to presence of water bodies (MOD35) as well as Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation data to detect anthropogenic changes in vegetation cover every 16 days. Terra-i is a collaboration between the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT - DAPA), CGIAR’s Research Program on Forestry, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HEIG-VD), and King’s College London (KCL).</p>

          <p>The system, which uses a computational algorithm similar to FORMA (<a href="http://www.globalforestwatch.org/sources/forest_change#forma">http://www.globalforestwatch.org/sources/forest_change#forma</a>), is based on the premise that natural vegetation follows a predictable pattern of change in greenness from one date to the next, brought about by site-specific land and climatic conditions over the same period. The model is trained to understand the normal pattern of changes in vegetation greenness in relation to terrain and rainfall for a site, which allows for prediction of what the next vegetation response should be based on the historical data. If the prediction is significantly different from the historical responses in relation to pattern of rainfall and lasts for two 16-day periods in a row, the pixel is marked as potentially having changed by anthropogenic means.</p>

            <dd>The forest above and below ground biomass were produced at 1 × 1 kilometer (100 ha) spatial resolution. The values for each pixel (1 × 1 km) refer to the biomass of forests remaining within the pixel and can be used directly to estimate total carbon stock in forests within one pixel. Along with the biomass values, there is an error map at the same spatial resolution providing the uncertainty in biomass estimation. It is recommended that both biomass and uncertainty values be used together for carbon assessments and verifications. The map will provide accurate estimates of total carbon stock and carbon density when aggregated to large areas (5,000-10,000 ha) for project and regional level assessments. The biomass value of a single pixel may have large uncertainty when compared with small plots for verification.</dd>

          <p>The Tropical Forest Carbon Stocks data layer shows a “benchmark” map of biomass carbon stocks for more than 2.5 billion hectares of forests on three continents, encompassing all tropical forests, for the early 2000s. Researchers from NASA’s <a href='http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/' target='_blank'>Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)</a> and <a href='http://www.winrock.org/' target='_blank'>Winrock International</a> developed the layer by collecting data from more than 4,000 in situ inventory plots, plus optical and microwave imagery (1 km resolution) to extrapolate the amount of calculated carbon stocks from forests distributed over the South American, Southeast Asia, and the sub-Saharan African regions. Further data on tree height and landscape characteristics across the tropics were derived using satellite light detection and ranging (Lidar) data from the <a href='http://icesat.gsfc.nasa.gov/icesat/glas.php' target='_blank'>ICESAT GLAS Lidar</a>. This data set also helps illustrate regional patterns and provides methodologically comparable estimates of carbon stocks for 75 developing countries where previous assessments were either poor or incomplete.</p>

          <p>The <a href='http://intactforests.org/' target='_blank'>Intact Forest Landscapes</a> (IFL) data set identifies unbroken expanses of natural ecosystems within the zone of forest extent that show no signs of significant human activity and are large enough that all native biodiversity, including viable populations of wide-ranging species, could be maintained. To map IFL areas, a set of criteria was developed and designed to be globally applicable and easily replicable, the latter to allow for repeated assessments over time as well as verification. IFL areas were defined as unfragmented landscapes, at least 50,000 hectares in size, and with a minimum width of 10 kilometers. IFL areas were defined as unfragmented landscapes, at least 50,000 hectares in size, and with a minimum width of 10 kilometers. These were then mapped from Landsat imagery for the years 2000 and 2013.</p>

          <p>Changes in the extent of IFLs were identified within year 2000 IFL boundary using the global wall-to-wall Landsat image composite for year 2013 and the global forest cover loss dataset (Hansen et al., 2013). Areas identified as “reduction in extent” met the IFL criteria in 2000, but no longer met the criteria in 2013. The main causes of change were clearing for agriculture and tree plantations, industrial activity such as logging and mining, fragmentation due to infrastructure and new roads, and fires assumed to be caused by humans.</p>

          <p>This data can be used to assess forest intactness, alteration, and degradation at global and regional scales. More information about the data set and methodology is available on  <a href="http://www.intactforests.org">www.intactforests.org</a></p>

          <p>This data set shows the coverage of primary humid tropical forest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the year 2000 at a 60 meter resolution. “Primary forest” is defined in this data set as mature humid tropical forest with greater than 60% canopy cover, and differs from “secondary forest” (regrowing forest with greater than 60% canopy cover) and “woodlands” (between 30% and 60% canopy cover). The authors created a composite of cloud-free Landsat imagery during the growing season of 2000 to conduct the analysis. They applied supervised bagged classification tree models to separate forest areas from non-forest based on training sites. Within forest areas, primary forests were separated from secondary forests and woodlands using supervised classification.

          <p>This data set indicates the location of intact and degraded primary forests across Indonesia as of the year 2000. Primary forest consist of mature natural forest cover that has not been completely cleared in recent history (30 years or more) and consisted of a contiguous block of 5 ha or more. Primary forest cover was mapped using Landsat composites and multi-temporal metrics as input data to a two-step supervised classification. The first step was a per-pixel classification of areas with tree canopy cover of 30% and above for the 2000 reference year.</p>
          <p>A second per-pixel classification procedure was performed to separate primary forest from other tree cover for 2000; contiguous areas of 5 ha and greater were retained as primary forest. A limited editing of this classification was performed to remove older plantations and adjust other forest formations that could not be identified using the per-pixel classifier, but could be identified in photo-interpretive contexts. Primary forests were subsequently characterized into primary intact and primary degraded subclasses using the GIS-based buffering approach of the Intact Forest Landscapes (IFL). To create the IFL layer, buffers of roads, settlements and other signs of human landscape alteration were used to identify degraded areas within zones of primary forest cover. IFL mapping employed cloud-free Landsat mosaics to quantify changes in primary intact forest extent. The map of primary intact and primary degraded forest cover types corresponds to the Indonesia Ministry of Forestry’s primary and secondary forest cover types.</p>

          <p>To improve scientific understanding of the extent and distribution of mangrove forests of the world the status and distribution of global mangroves were mapped using recently available Global Land Survey (GLS) data and the Landsat archive.The project interpreted approximately 1000 Landsat scenes using hybrid supervised and unsupervised digital image classification techniques. Results were validated using existing GIS data and the published literature to map ‘true mangroves’.</p>
          <p>The total area of mangroves in the year 2000 was 137,760 km2 in 118 countries and territories in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Approximately 75% of world's mangroves are found in just 15 countries, and only 6.9% are protected under the existing protected areas network (IUCN I-IV). Our study confirms earlier findings that the biogeographic distribution of mangroves is generally confined to the tropical and subtropical regions and the largest percentage of mangroves is found between 5° N and 5° S latitude.</p>
          <p>The remaining area of mangrove forest in the world is less than previously thought; the estimate provided in this study is 12.3% smaller than the most recent estimate by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. This data set presents the most comprehensive, globally consistent and highest resolution (30 m) global mangrove database ever created</p>

          <p>Economic Land Concessions (ELC) are long-term leases that allows a concessionaire to clear land in order to develop industrial-scale agriculture. In recent years, communities, local and international organizations, UN agencies, and development partners have raised many concerns about the impact of ELCs on communities and the environment.  Both local and international media frequently report on cases of communities losing land to concession holders. Further, ELCs allegedly have led to deforestation as large tracts of forestland are cleared for plantations.</p>

          <p>This dataset contains data for ELCs in Cambodia with contract dates starting from 1995 to 2012. The list was updated in June 2015 to included adjustments to ELCs contracts as a result of the Directive 01, starting in 2012, such as land cuts and cancellation of licenses. Due to the lack of publicly available information, this dataset does not include information on reductions of contract durations as a result of the ELCs evaluation process in 2015.</p>

          <p>Open Development Cambodia collected the data from a variety of public domain sources such as the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), research institutes, company websites, and news reports.</p>

          <p>The National Land Cover Database 2011 (NLCD 2011) is the most recent national data product created by the United States Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium. The MRLC is a <a href="http://www.mrlc.gov/about.php" target="_blank">group of federal agencies</a> who coordinate and generate consistent and relevant land cover information at the national scale for a wide variety of environmental, land management, and modeling applications. NLCD 2011 provides - for the first time - the capability to assess wall-to-wall, spatially explicit, national land cover changes and trends across the United States from 2001 to 2011. As with two previous NLCD land cover products NLCD 2011 keeps the same 16-class land cover classification scheme that has been applied consistently across the United States at a spatial resolution of 30 meters. NLCD 2011 is based primarily on a decision-tree classification of circa 2011 Landsat satellite data.</p>
          <p>The 2011 land cover layer is one of five primary data products produced as part of the NLCD 2011: 1) NLCD 2011 Land Cover 2) NLCD 2006/2011 Land Cover Change Pixels labeled with the 2011 land cover class 3) NLCD 2011 Percent Developed Imperviousness 4) NLCD 2006/2011 Percent Developed Imperviousness Change Pixels 5) NLCD 2011 Tree Canopy Cover.</p>
          <p>Land cover class categories include forest, planted/cultivated lands, wetland, grassland, water, developed areas and barren land. Land cover information is critical for local, state, and federal managers and officials to assist them with issues such as assessing ecosystem status and health, modeling nutrient and pesticide runoff, understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity, land use planning, deriving landscape pattern metrics, and developing land management policies.</p>

            <p>Data gaps in the MERIS 2009 satellite acquisitions (about 5% of the total data area) were filled using the GlobCover 2005 land cover map.</p>
            <p>The lack of a short-wave infrared (SWIR) band in the MERIS sensor may result in underestimation of flooded forests. These classes were therefore imported from the 2005 GlobCover land cover map.</p>

          <p>GlobCover is a European Space Agency (ESA) initiative which began in 2005 in partnership with the Joint Research Center, European Environmental Agency, UN Food and Agricultural Organization,  UN Environment Programme, Global Observation of Forest Cover and Land Cover Dynamics, and International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme. The aim of the project was to develop a service capable of delivering global composites and land cover maps using observations from the 300 meter MERIS sensor on board the ENVISAT satellite mission. ESA makes land cover maps available covering 2 periods: December 2004 - June 2006 and January - December 2009. GlobCover products come with a thematic legend compatible with the UN Land Cover Classification System (LCCS).</p>
          <p>Data in this layer was generated using MERIS images which were classified using both a supervised (human-verified) and unsupervised  (automated)classification algorithm applied at two different seasonal time steps to create land cover classes based on both spectral and temporal properties of land cover. The labelling procedure is automated and based on the GlobCover 2005 (V2.2) land cover map. Several decision rules have been defined with the help of international land cover experts to create unique labels for each class.</p>

          <p>This data set was created by Transparent World, with the support of Global Forest Watch. Many studies depicting forest cover and forest change cannot distinguish between natural forests and plantations. This data set attempts to distinguish tree plantations from natural forest for seven key countries: Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Indonesia, Liberia, Malaysia, and Peru.</p>

          <p>Given the variability of plantations and their spectral similarity to natural forests, this study used visual interpretations of satellite imagery, primarily <a href="http://landsat.usgs.gov/" target="_blank">Landsat</a>, supplemented by high resolution imagery (Google Maps, Bing Maps, or Digital Globe), where available, to locate plantations. Analysts hand-digitized plantation boundaries based on several key visual criteria, including texture, shape, color, and size.</p>

          <p>Each polygon is labelled with the plantation type and when possible, the species. A “gr” in front of the species name indicates a group of species, such as pines or fruit, where the individual species was not identifiable. The percentage of plantation coverage indicates a rough estimate of the prevalence of plantation within apolygon (as in the case of a mosaic). Types are defined as follows:</p>
          <p><ul class="bullets">
            <li><strong>Large industrial plantation:</strong> single plantation units larger than 100 hectares</li>
            <li><strong>Mosaic of medium-sized plantations:</strong> mosaic of plantation units < 100 hectares embedded within patches of other land use</li>
            <li><strong>Mosaic of small-sized plantations:</strong> mosaic of plantation units < 10 hectares embedded within patches of other land use.</li>
            <li><strong>Clearing/ very young plantation:</strong> bare ground with contextual clues suggesting it will become a plantations (shape or pattern of clearing, proximity to other plantations, distinctive road network, etc)</li>
          </ul></p>

          <p>This data set was created by Transparent World, with the support of Global Forest Watch. Many studies depicting forest cover and forest change cannot distinguish between natural forests and plantations. This data set attempts to distinguish tree plantations from natural forest for seven key countries: Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Indonesia, Liberia, Malaysia, and Peru.</p>

          <p>Given the variability of plantations and their spectral similarity to natural forests, this study used visual interpretations of satellite imagery, primarily <a href="http://landsat.usgs.gov/" target="_blank">Landsat</a>, supplemented by high resolution imagery (Google Maps, Bing Maps, or Digital Globe), where available, to locate plantations. Analysts hand-digitized plantation boundaries based on several key visual criteria, including texture, shape, color, and size.</p>

          <p>Each polygon is labelled with the plantation type and when possible, the species. A “gr” in front of the species name indicates a group of species, such as pines or fruit, where the individual species was not identifiable. The percentage of plantation coverage indicates a rough estimate of the prevalence of plantation within apolygon (as in the case of a mosaic). Types are defined as follows:</p>
          <p><ul class="bullets">
            <li><strong>Large industrial plantation:</strong> single plantation units larger than 100 hectares</li>
            <li><strong>Mosaic of medium-sized plantations:</strong> mosaic of plantation units < 100 hectares embedded within patches of other land use</li>
            <li><strong>Mosaic of small-sized plantations:</strong> mosaic of plantation units < 10 hectares embedded within patches of other land use.</li>
            <li><strong>Clearing/ very young plantation:</strong> bare ground with contextual clues suggesting it will become a plantations (shape or pattern of clearing, proximity to other plantations, distinctive road network, etc)</li>
          </ul></p>

          <p>This data set comes from the National Institute of Forests (INAB) in Guatemala. The general objective of this project was to update the national forest cover map to the year 2006. The specific objectives included calculating the rates of land cover changes at national, departmental, and municipal scales and comparing the 2006 map to the 2001 map that was generated with the same methodology. The new methodology used to generate the 2006 map made it necessary to create a new 2001 map. To describe forest cover at the national scale, the use of information from remote sensing, whether satellite images or aerial photographs, represented the most accurate data source.</p>

          <p>The elaboration of national maps of forest cover was based on satellite images from Landsat 5 and 7 as well as ASTER (only for the southwestern section of the country, in the area corresponding to the Landsat image of Path 21 Row 50). The forest cover for Guatemala in 2006 was estimated as 3,866,383 hectares, equivalent to 35.5% of the national territory. The revised value for 2001 is 4,152,051 hectares corresponding to 38.1% of the national territory. These values represent an annual net loss of 48,084 hectares, equivalent to a deforestation rate of - 1.16%. The net annual loss reported is the difference between a gross loss of 101,852 hectares/year and a gain of 53,768 hectares/year.</p>

          <p>Estos datos provienen del Instituto Nacional de Bosques (INAB) de Guatemala. El objetivo general de este proyecto fue el de actualizar el mapa de cobertura forestal nacional para el año 2006. Los objetivos específicos incluyeron calcular tasas de cambios de cobertura, tanto a nivel nacional como departamental y municipal, comparando el mapa 2006 con el mapa para el 2001 generado con la misma metodología. Para hacer una comparación apropiada,  se creó un nuevo mapa para el 2001 usando la nueva metodología usada para generar el mapa 2006. Se usó información obtenida a través de sensores remotos, imágenes satelitales o fotografías aéreas, para lograr una descripción  más adecuada de la cobertura forestal a escala nacional.</p>

          <p>De esta forma,  el mapa nacional de cobertura forestal se generó  en base las imágenes satelitales LANDSAT 5 y 7, así como ASTER (únicamente para la sección del Sur-Occidente del país, en el área correspondiente a la imagen Path 21 Row 50 de la serie LANDSAT). La cobertura forestal para el año 2006 para Guatemala fue estimada en 3,866,383 ha, equivalente a un 35.5% del territorio nacional. El valor revisado para el 2001 es de 4,152,051 ha correspondiente a un 38.1% del territorio nacional. Estos valores representan una pérdida neta anual de 48,084 ha equivalentes a una tasa de deforestación de 1.16%. La pérdida neta anual reportada es la diferencia de una pérdida bruta de 101,852 ha/año y una ganancia de 53,768 ha/año.</p>

          <p>This data set comes from the National Institute of Forests (INAB) in Guatemala. Information from Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 was used as the primary source of information, corresponding to 2010, although in certain areas images from 2009 and 2011 were used based on their quality. As secondary sources of information, information from 2006 orthophotos and images for 2010 from the ALOS-PRISM sensor were used.</p>

          <p>Forest cover in 2010 for Guatemala was estimated at 3,722,595 hectares, equivalent to 34% of the national land territory. The value for forest cover for 2006, published in May of 2011, was revised and a new estimate of 3,868,708 hectares was obtained. These values represent a net loss of 146,112 hectares of forest, equivalent to a net deforestation rate of -1.0% per year at the national level (with respect to the total existing forest in 2006). The results show that the net rate of deforestation continues falling compared to previous studies (-1.43% for 1991-2001 and -1.16% for 2001-2006) as a result of substantial increases in forest cover gain. However, gross deforestation continues to increase, reaching an area of 132,137 hectares per year for the analyzed time period.</p>

           <p >52% of the national forest cover is located inside the Guatemalan System of Protected Areas (SIGAP), which covers a third of the national territory. The remaining 48% of the forest cover is distributed in the other two thirds of the country. In face of this concentration of forest cover inside of Protected Areas, three quarters of the loss during 2006-2010 occurred inside of SIGAP and one quarter outside of SIGAP.</p>

          <p>Estos datos provienen del Instituto Nacional de Bosques (INAB) de Guatemala. El análisis se hizo en base a datos de los sensores LANDSAT 5 y LANDSAT 7 para el año 2010  como fuente primaria de información, aunque en ciertas áreas se utilizaron imágenes de los años 2009 y 2011 en función de su calidad. Como fuentes de información secundaria, se utilizaron ortofotos 2006 e imágenes del sensor ALOS-PRISM para el año 2010.</p>

          <p>Se estimó la cobertura forestal en el año 2010 para Guatemala en un área de 3,722,595 hectáreas, equivalente a un 34 % del territorio terrestre nacional. El valor de la cobertura forestal para el año 2006, publicado en mayo de 2011, fue revisado y se obtuvo uno nuevo estimado de 3,868,708 ha. Estos valores representan una pérdida neta de 146,112 ha de bosque, equivalentes a una tasa neta de deforestación del -1.0 % anual a nivel nacional (con respecto al total de bosque existente en 2006). Los resultados muestran que la tasa neta de deforestación nacional continúa reduciéndose con respecto a los estudios anteriores (-1.43 % en 1991-2001 y -1.16 % en 2001-2006) lo cual responde a incrementos sustanciales en áreas con ganancia de cobertura forestal. Sin embargo, la deforestación bruta continúa incrementándose, alcanzando un área de 132,137 hectáreas anuales para el período analizado.</p>

           <p >El 52.0 % de la cobertura forestal nacional se ubica dentro del Sistema Guatemalteco de Áreas Protegidas (SIGAP), y éste a su vez cubre una tercera parte del territorio nacional. El restante 48.0 % de la cobertura forestal se distribuye, de manera fragmentada, en las otras dos terceras partes del país. Ante esta concentración de cobertura forestal dentro de Áreas Protegidas, por cada cuatro hectáreas de pérdida en el período 2006-2010, tres de ellas ocurrieron dentro del SIGAP y una fuera del mismo.</p>

          <p> “Managed forests” refers to areas allocated by a government for harvesting timber and other wood products in a public forest. Managed forests are distinct from wood fiber concessions, where tree plantations are established for the exclusive production of pulp and paper products. “Concession” is used as a general term for licenses, permits, or other contracts that confer rights to private companies to manage and extract timber and other wood products from public forests; terminology varies at the national level, however, and includes "forest permits," "tenures," "licenses," and other terms.</p>

          <p>This data set displays managed forest concessions as a single layer assembled by aggregating data for multiple countries. The data may come from government agencies, NGOs, or other organizations and varies by date and data sources. For more information on concession data for each country please visit the <a href="http://data.globalforestwatch.org/datasets?q=timber&sort_by=relevance" class="download-mobile-link" target="_blank">Open Data Portal</a>.</p>

              <p>Logging in Cameroon’s forests is permitted within Forest Management Units (FMUs). This data set displays the FMUs within Cameroon’s permanent forest estate. Selective logging is permitted in Cameroon’s FMUs, which are further divided into logging concessions called annual allowable cuts (AACs). These logging permits require owners and operators to maintain permanent forest cover. This data set was produced in collaboration between the Cameroon Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife and WRI.

              <p>This data set provides the boundaries of forest areas licensed to companies for forestry and is a compilation of provincial forest tenure data sets across Canada. Tenures for Nova Scotia are not provided, due to changes underway in forest management in that province, and will be added to this data set when available. Much of Canada’s logging activity occurs on Crown (often referred to as “public”) land and is regulated by various provincial commercial forest tenure systems that allocate cutting rights to and confer obligations on recipients of the tenures. It is these tenure systems on Crown forest land that are the focus of this data product. The information in this data set was gathered in order to continue to develop an understanding of how much of Canada’s forest area is under commercial forest tenures, where these tenures (including the operating areas of major forest companies) are located, and who is most likely to control them. This information and these data sets are important because of the extent of tenures and the resulting logging activity over vast areas of Canada’s Crown forest land.</p>

              <p>The Liberia logging concessions data set combines the boundaries of forest management contracts, timber sale contracts, and private use permits, compiled by Global Witness from available government and contractual maps. Due to a lack of quality data, this data set should be used for demonstration purposes only and not for land use planning purposes. Forests in Liberia are managed by the state under the National Forestry Reform Law, enacted in October 2006. Following the enactment of this law, UN Security Council timber export sanctions against Liberia were lifted, permitting commercial forestry activities to resume. Forest management contracts include concession areas of 50,000 hectares to 400,000 hectares and are open for bids from qualified bidders that demonstrate at least 51% ownership by Liberian citizens; concessions of more than 100,000 hectares are open for bidding from international investors. Timber sale contracts are established through a bidding process for areas up to 5,000 hectares; bidders must demonstrate at least 51% ownership by Liberian citizens. Private Use Permits are licenses issued to private landowners to extract wood and lack sustainability regulations. Global Witness compiled the logging concession data as part of the report <em>Signing Their Lives Away: Liberia’s Private Use Permits and the Destruction of Community Owned Rainforest</em> (Global Witness, 2012).</p>

          <p>In May 2011, the Ministry of Forestry put into effect a two-year moratorium on the designation of new forest concessions in primary natural forests and peatlands. This moratorium is designed to allow time for the government to develop improved processes for land-use planning, strengthen information systems, and build institutions to achieve Indonesia’s low emission development goals. The two-year moratorium, renewed again in May 2015, is part of Indonesia’s pledge to curtail forest clearing in a US $1 billion deal with the Norwegian government.</p>
          <p>The first Indicative Moratorium Map (IMM) was published by the Ministry of Forestry in July 2011. The IMM is required to be revised every six months. This data set shows the version 7 IMM (November 2014) for 11 priority provinces (Aceh, Jambi, Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, Central Sulawesi, South Sumatra, West Sumatra, West Papua, Papuan, and Riau), and the version 6 IMM (May 2014) for remaining provinces. The Ministry of Forestry has revised the map since version 7, but these data are not available to the public. </p>

          <p>The Liberia logging concessions data set combines the boundaries of forest management contracts (FMCs) and timber sale contracts (TSCs), compiled by Global Witness from available government and contractual maps.</p>
          <p>Due to a lack of quality data, this data set should be used for demonstration purposes only and not for land use planning purposes. Forests in Liberia are managed by the state under the National Forestry Reform Law, enacted in October 2006. Following the enactment of this law, UN Security Council timber export sanctions against Liberia were lifted, permitting commercial forestry activities to resume. Forest management contracts include concession areas of 50,000 hectares to 400,000 hectares and are open for bids from qualified bidders that demonstrate at least 51% ownership by Liberian citizens; concessions of more than 100,000 hectares are open for bidding from international investors. Timber sale contracts are established through a bidding process for areas up to 5,000 hectares; bidders must demonstrate at least 51% ownership by Liberian citizens.</p>

          <p>This map was created from two State Forestry Department (SFD) 2010 maps, supplemented by information from Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for re-entry logging by specific licensees. Where not already identified in available SFD maps, names of licensees associated with individual numbered licenses have (where possible) been obtained from company documents and regional perspective maps from EIAs.</p>
          <p>Permit issuance dates and official areas in hectares are from various sources, including EIAs. Identities of corporate groupings to which individual licensee companies belong are based on various sources, including EIAs and official company documents.</p>
          <p>This map does not include Timber Licenses in Sarikei, Betong, Sri Aman, Samarahan and Kuching Divisions in the west of Sarawak, though there are known to be few such licenses in those Divisions. It is possible that some licenses shown on this map may have expired or been amended since 2010; other new licenses not shown here may also have been created. Individual licensees may also have joined or split from the named corporate groups. This map also does not include 'Belian Timber' Licenses.</p>
          <p>A number of the Timber Licenses are split into non-contiguous parts. In some cases separate boundary entries are given for each part; these are annotated 'Part 1' etc in the title. These 'Part' are not official names, but rather naming conventions used in the GIS cleaning of the data.</p>

          <p>“Mining concession” refers to an area allocated by a government or other body for the extraction of minerals. The terminology for these areas varies from country to country. “Concession” is used as a general term for licenses, permits, or other contracts that confer rights to private companies to manage and extract minerals from public lands; terminology varies at the national level, however, and includes mineral or mining "permits," "tenures," "licenses," and other terms.</p>

          <p>This data set displays mining concessions as a single layer assembled by aggregating concession data for multiple countries. The data may come from government agencies, NGOs, or other organizations and varies by date and data sources.

          <p>The mining sector in Cambodia is mostly undeveloped, and active mining enterprises are typically small-scale quarries producing materials for construction, such as laterite, marble, granite, limestone, gravel and sand. There are also thousands of artisanal miners recovering gold and gemstones, often on a seasonal or part-time basis. There is no industrial-scale extraction of minerals, although many exploration licenses have been granted to mining companies and some have reported promising finds of gold. The mining law states that all mining in “national cultural, historical and heritage sites” is prohibited, and mining activities in “protected, reserved or restricted” areas can only be carried out with written permission of the authority responsible. The 2002 Law on Forestry allows mining within the permanent forest estate, however, any proposed mining operation must be the subject of a ‘prior study-evaluation’ by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). The legality of mining operations on lands traditionally managed by indigenous people requires clarification.</p>
          <p>This dataset contains data for mining licenses in Cambodia with contract dates starting from 1995 to 2014. Due to the lack of publicly available information, this dataset does not include information on implementation status of mines or change in ownership of mining licenses.</p>
          <p>Open Development Cambodia collected the data from a variety of public domain sources such as the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), research institutes, company websites, and news reports.</p>

              <p>This data layer shows the boundaries of agro-industrial zones, where oil palm and rubber tree plantations, as well as other crops, may be established. In Cameroon, industrial agriculture falls outside of the National Forest Estate. Agricultural plantations are allocated by the Ministry of Economy and Planning to private entities under long-term, renewable contracts, which are then monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture. The agro-industrial data set was mapped using satellite imagery, with ground-truthing to determine the crop type and operating company. Official documentation was often lacking, so boundaries should be considered approximate and nonexhaustive.</p>

          <p>This data layer shows the boundaries of agro-industrial zones, where oil palm and rubber tree plantations, as well as other crops, may be established. In Cameroon, industrial agriculture falls outside of the National Forest Estate. Agricultural plantations are allocated by the Ministry of Economy and Planning to private entities under long-term, renewable contracts, which are then monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture. The agro-industrial data set was mapped using satellite imagery, with ground-truthing to determine the crop type and operating company. Official documentation was often lacking, so boundaries should be considered approximate and nonexhaustive.</p>

          <p>This data set provides the boundaries of known oil palm concessions for the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, and was compiled from available public documents. Where available, associated information provided with this data set includes licensee name, permit number (Operational Ticket), corporate grouping, permit date, and official license area. This data set also includes areas under License for Planted Forest (LPF) agreements where oil palm has been planted for one rotation, where available</p>
          <p>The data set combines the boundaries of oil palm licenses obtained from Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports for individual oil palm and LPF concessions (spanning various dates) and a regional State Forestry Department map from 2010 for northern Sarawak. The information drawn from oil palm EIA reports was compiled by Aidenvironment and SADIA, and combined with the other information by Earthsight Investigations. Licenses (and licensee subsidiaries) have been attributed to major corporate groups based on published company records and secondary sources.
          </p>
          <p>A number of the oil palm concession licenses are split into non-contiguous parts. In some cases separate boundary entries are given for each part; these are annotated 'Part 1' etc in the title. These 'Parts' are not official names, but rather naming conventions used in the GIS cleaning of the data.</p>

          <p>This data set provides the boundaries of known Licenses for Planted Forests (LPFs) within Sarawak, Malaysia. LPFs have a maximum tenure of 60 years, and must be over 1,000 hectares in size. Though they are designed for the purpose of planting of timber trees (mostly acacia), licensees are permitted to plant a portion of their licensed area with oil palm trees for a single rotation.</p>
          <p>The data set combines the boundaries of LPFs issued up to and included on the Sarawak Forestry Department (SFD) LPF map published 11th Jan 2011. Precise boundaries were sourced from regional SFD maps from 2010 and from Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports for individual concessions.
          </p>
          <p>Licenses (and licensee subsidiaries) have been attributed to major corporate groups based on published company records and secondary sources. Where information on the areas within LPFs allotted for oil palm is available, the boundaries of these areas have been plotted and included in the separate dataset on oil palm concessions in Sarawak. Information on the permit issuance date, official total area in hectares, and plantable area in hectares for LPF licenses has been obtained directly from EIA reports or from secondary sources which have drawn on such reports. Information on area of each LPF license planted up to 2012 (where provided) has been obtained from official published reports or websites of relevant companies.</p>
          <p>It should be noted that it is common for LPF licenses to overlap with current Timber Licenses (see separate logging concession dataset for Sarawak). In such instances, LPF clearance and planting only proceeds in individual zones within the LPF when the Timber License holder has completed its own activities.</p>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Overview</h3>
          <p>The Leuser Ecosystem spans the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Over 35 times the size of Singapore, this majestic and ancient ecosystem covers more than 2.6 million hectares of lowland rainforests, peat swamps, montane and coastal forests and alpine meadows. Globally recognized as one of the richest expanses of tropical rainforest found anywhere in Southeast Asia, the Leuser Ecosystem is also one of Asia’s largest carbon sinks. The Leuser Ecosystem is the last place on earth where orangutans, rhinos, elephants, and tigers co-exist in the wild. All four of these species are now classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as Critically Endangered. The Leuser Ecosystem is the only remaining habitat left in Sumatra large enough to sustain viable populations of these species. A publication in leading international journal Science listed the Leuser Ecosystem as “one of the world’s foremost irreplaceable areas.”</p>
          <p>The Leuser Ecosystem is an essential asset for the economic development of Aceh, providing a total economic value of at least 350 million US dollars per year. The Leuser Ecosystem acts as a life-support system for approximately four million people in Aceh. The primary ecosystem services are fresh water provision and disaster mitigation. The forests of the Leuser Ecosystem act as a sponge, soaking up the downpours of the rainy season and spreading out the release of water downstream more evenly across the months. Deforestation of this environmentally sensitive area is having a dramatic impact by increasing the damage caused by flooding and landslides, and causing economic damage to communities and downstream industry. Locally and globally, the Leuser Ecosystem also has immense environmental value due to its role in climate regulation and carbon storage. Efforts to conserve the Leuser Ecosystem date as far back as the early 19th century, when the traditional leaders of Aceh lobbied the colonial government to protect their natural heritage, ranging from the mountains all the way down to the coast. More recent laws have served to strengthen the protection of the Leuser Ecosystem and placed the responsibility for managing its protection and restoration with the Aceh Provincial Government (Article 150 of National Law on Governing Aceh No. 11/2006). Furthermore, the Leuser Ecosystem in Aceh has special legal status as a National Strategic Area for its Environmental Protection Function (26 of 2007 juncto 26/2008), prohibiting any activities that reduce that function, including cultivation and infrastructure development.</p>

          <h3>Overview</h3>
          <p>This data set is Honduras’ first high-resolution forest and land cover map, produced by the Honduran government agency <a href="http://www.icf.gob.hn/" target="_blank">ICF</a> (National Institute of Conservation and Forest Development, Protected Areas, and Wildlife) with the technical and financial support of <a href="http://www.reddccadgiz.org/" target="_blank">Project REDD/CCAD-GIZ</a>. RapidEye satellite imagery from 2013 was acquired and analyzed to produce a map of the spatial distribution of forest types within the country. In addition to mapping of eight different forest types, the map also portrays the extent and distribution of fifteen categories of human land use.</p>
          <p>In contrast to earlier forest maps of Honduras, this version expands on other categories of wooded vegetation, including secondary vegetation, coffee and agroforestry areas, and information on trees outside of forests. Pastures and agricultural fields are also aggregated into one category and comprise the second largest land cover class.</p>

          <p>Este conjunto de datos es el primer mapa de alta resolución de bosque y uso de suelo en Honduras, producido por el <a href="http://www.icf.gob.hn/" target="_blank">ICF</a> (Instituto Nacional de Conservación y Desarrollo Forestal, Áreas Protegidas y Vida Silvestre), con el apoyo tecnico y financiero del <a href="http://www.reddccadgiz.org/" target="_blank">Project REDD/CCAD-GIZ</a>. El mapa se generó a partir de imagenes satélites de RapidEye para el año 2013, adquiridas y analizados para producir un mapa de la distribución de los tipos de bosque en el país. Ademas de mapear los ocho tipos del bosque, el mapa también muestra la extensión y la distribución de 15 categorías del uso de suelo.</p>
          <p>A diferencia de los mapas de bosque anteriores del Honduras, esta versión expande las categorías de vegetación boscosa, incluyendo vegetación secundaria, cafetales y palma africana, así como  información sobre árboles fuera de bosques. Los pastos y cultivos son agregados en una sola categoría, que es la segunda mayor categoría  de uso de suelo en el mapa.</p>

          <p>Logging roads are often a first step to deforestation and forest degradation, but they are generally remote and sporadically used, making them difficult to monitor. The <a href='http://loggingroads.org/' target='_blank'>Logging Roads</a> initiative, launched by <a href="http://moabi.org/" target="_blank">Moabi</a> and Global Forest Watch, uses crowdsourcing and tools developed by  <a href='http://openstreetmap.org' target='_blank'>OpenStreetMap</a> and the <a href="https://hotosm.org/" target="_blank">Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)</a> to identify and monitor the spread of logging roads in the Congo Basin. Volunteers use satellite imagery to trace roads and identify the date the road appears. </p>

          <p>The <a href="http://www.v-c-s.org">State of the World's Rivers</a> is an interactive web database that illustrates data on ecological health in the world’s 50 major river basins. Indicators of ecosystem health are grouped into the categories of river fragmentation, biodiversity, and water quality. The database was created and published by International Rivers in 2014.</p>
          <p>The Dam Hotspots data contains over 5,000 dam locations determined by latitude and longitude coordinates. These locations were confined to the world’s 50 major river basins. The data set comes from multiple sources, and was corrected for location errors by International Rivers. The “project status”—a moving target—was determined by acquiring official government data, as well as through primary research from Berkeley and five International Rivers’ regional offices.</p>

          <p>The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global spatial data set on marine and terrestrial protected areas available. Protected area data are provided via <a href='http://www.protectedplanet.net/' target='_blank'>protectedplanet.net</a>, the online interface for the <a href='http://www.wdpa.org/' target='_blank'>World Database on Protected Areas</a> (WDPA). The WDPA is a joint initiative of the IUCN and UNEP-WCMC to compile spatially referenced information about protected areas.</p>

          <p><strong><a href='http://www.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/gpap_home/gpap_quality/gpap_pacategories/' target='_blank'>IUCN Management Categories</a></strong></p>

          <p>Not all protected areas receive the same degree of protection. While some have strict guidelines designed to preserve intact ecosystems, others allow for sustainable land use, often including limited resource extraction. In addition, not all countries use the same terminology when designating a protected area. Accordingly, the  <a href='http://www.iucn.org/' target='_blank'>International Union for Conservation of Nature</a> defined universal management categories that stipulate the level of protection for most protected areas.</p>

          <p>As you click through protected areas in this layer, note the “legal designation” and the explanations below to better understand the degree to which an area is protected.</p>

          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li><strong>Ia. Strict Nature Reserves.</strong> Protected areas designed to preserve biodiversity and all geological features. Limited human use (e.g., scientific study, education) is allowed and carefully monitored. Strict Nature Reserves are often used to understand the impact of indirect human disturbance (e.g., burning fossil fuels) because of the area’s high level of preservation. <em>Other common designations:</em> Biological Reserve, Botanical Reserve</li>
            <li><strong>Ib. Wilderness Areas.</strong> Protected areas managed to preserve ecosystem processes with limited human use. Wilderness Areas cannot contain modern infrastructure (e.g., a visitor’s center), but they allow for local indigenous groups to maintain subsistence lifestyles. These areas are often established to restore disturbed environments. <em>Other common designations:</em> Wilderness Reserve, Wildlife Area</li>
            <li><strong>II. National Parks.</strong> Protected areas designed to preserve large-scale ecosystems and support human visitation. With conservation as a priority, these areas allow infrastructure and contribute to the local economy by providing opportunities for environmental educational and recreation. <em>Other common designations:</em> State Park, Class A Park, Park Reserve, Provincial Park</li>
            <li><strong>III. National Monuments or Features.</strong> Areas established to protect a specific natural feature (e.g., cave, grove) or human-made monument with significant historical, spiritual, or environmental importance and the immediate surroundings. Accordingly, Natural Monuments or Features are typically smaller in area and have high human impact resulting from visitor traffic. <em>Other common designations:</em> Natural Features Reserve, Nature Monument, Botanical Garden</li>
            <li><strong>IV. Habitat and Species Management Areas.</strong> Areas designed to conserve specific wildlife populations and/or habitats. Habitat and Species Management Areas often exist within a larger ecosystem or protected area and are carefully managed (e.g., through hunting abatement or habitat restoration) to conserve a target species or habitat. <em>Other common designations:</em> National Wildlife Refuge, State Wildlife Management Area, Faunal Reserve, Zakaznik (Russia), Provincial Reserve, Wildlife Sanctuary</li>
            <li><strong>V. Protected Landscapes and Seascapes.</strong> Protected areas with ecological, biological, or cultural importance that have been shaped by human use of the landscape. Protected landscapes and seascapes typically cover entire bodies of land or ocean and allow for a number of for-profit activities (e.g., ecotourism) in accordance with the region’s management plan. <em>Other common designations:</em> National Forest, State Natural Area, Environmental Protection Area, Protected Area, Quasi National Park (Japan), Nature Reserve, State Natural Area</li>
            <li><strong>VI. Protected Areas with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources.</strong> Areas designed to manage natural resources and uphold the livelihoods of surrounding communities. These regions have a low level of human occupation, small-scale developments (i.e., not industrial), and part of the landscape in its natural condition. <em>Other common designations:</em> Wildlife Reserve, Biosphere Reserve, Forest Reserve, Protective Zone, National Forest, Natural and National Reserves, Reserve, Multiple Use Reserve, Municipal Reserve</li>

          <h3 class='overview_title'>Overview</h3>
          <p>First defined in 1988 by scientist Norman Myers, biodiversity hotspots are areas characterized by high levels of endemic plants coupled with significant habitat loss. Specifically, a region must meet the following criteria to achieve Conservation International’s hotspot classification:</p>

          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li>At least 1,500 species of vascular plants (>0.5% of the world’s total) are endemic</li>
            <li>At least 70% of the original natural vegetation has been lost</li>
          </ul>

          <p>When Myers first defined the term, he identified 10 tropical forest hotspots. The need to pinpoint priority conservation regions led Conservation International (CI) to adopt the term and reassess the hotspot concept. In this process, CI introduced quantitative thresholds (see above) and added additional regions. At that time, there were 25 hotspots. Because of the constant change in environmental threats and the improved understanding of biodiversity, CI has since revisited the hotspots to refine boundaries, update information, and add new regions. This process produced an additional 10 hotspots, bringing the total to 35.</p>

          <p>Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (TEOW) is a data set of the geographic distribution Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. Ecoregions are defined as relatively large units of land or water containing a distinct assemblage of natural communities sharing a large majority of species, environmental conditions, and processes, such as migrations or fire disturbance regimes. The 867 terrestrial ecoregions are classified into 14 different biomes, such as forests, grasslands, or deserts. Ecoregions represent the original distribution of distinct assemblages of species and communities.</p>
          <p>The TEOW data set provides:</p>

          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li>A map of terrestrial biodiversity that gives enough detail to be useful in global and regional conservation priority-setting and planning efforts</li>
            <li>A logical biogeographic framework for developing large-scale conservation strategies</li>
            <li>A framework for a global species database useful in priority setting and ecological analyses</li>
            <li>A foundation for the <a href="http://www.worldwildlife.org/publications/global-200">Global 200</a>, a representative prioritization of the world’s most distinctive biodiversity regions</li>
          </ul>

          <p>The TEOW data set was developed by WWF through primary analysis, secondary research, and consultation of existing biogeographic maps and regional experts.</p>

          <p>A protected area is a defined space given extra protection to support long-term conservation of wildlife, nature, ecosystems and cultures. The 1993 Royal Decree on the Protection of Natural Areas recognized 23 protected areas, which at the time covered over 18% of Cambodia’s land area. The royal decree establishes four categories: national park, wildlife sanctuary, protected landscape, and multi-purpose (multiple use) areas necessary for the stability of the water, forestry, wildlife, and fisheries resource, for pleasure, and for the conservation of nature with a view of assuring economic development. In 2008, the Royal Government of Cambodia adopted the <a href="http://www.opendevelopmentcambodia.net/pdf-viewer/?pdf=download/law/Law%20on%20Natural%20Protected%20Areas_February_15_2008_Khm.pdf" target="_blank"> Law on Protected Areas </a> introducing and defining a new zoning system to manage the protected areas in Cambodia.</p>

          <p>The law, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Environment, underlines the expansion and modification of protected areas categories which additionally include the Ramsar sites, biosphere reserves, natural heritage sites and marine parks. Since the Protected Areas Law was passed, numerous sub-decrees have been passed classifying areas as Sustainable Use Zones (degazettement). According to the law, after consulting with relevant ministries and institutions, local authorities, and local communities, the Government may permit development and investment activities in these zones. These activities can include infrastructure development, including irrigation and hydroelectricity projects, mining and resin exploitation.</p>

          <p>This dataset contains data for five types of protected areas in Cambodia (national park, wildlife sanctuary, protected landscape, multiple use, Ramsar site) with issuing dates starting from 1993 to 2014.  Data for biosphere reserves, national heritage sites, and marine parks is currently not available on ODC. Due to the lack of publicly available spatial information on zoning and degazettement of protected areas, this dataset does not include information on adjustments.</p>

          <p>Open Development Cambodia collected the data from a variety of public domain sources such as the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), research institutes, company websites, and news reports.</p>

          <p>There are three classes of Totally Protected Areas (TPAs) in Sarawak: National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries and Nature Reserves. Some of the TPAs are gazetted, while others remain ungazetted and are classified as 'proposed'.</p>
          <p>All boundaries are from Sarawak Forestry Department (SFD) maps. Three principal map sources were used: a high-resolution SFD map of northern Sarawak from February 2010; a high-resolution SFD map of central Sarawak from 2010; and low-resolution SFD maps of National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries and Nature Reserves available on the SFD website and accessed in April 2014. TPAs which are entirely over water are not included.</p>
          <p>The status of each protected area given in this data set is based on the list of gazetted TPAs as of 31st December 2014 given on the website of the Sarawak Forestry Corporation (accessed November 2015), and the Sarawak Forestry Department Annual Report of 2012.</p>

          <p>This data set displays the boundaries of six Brazilian continental biomes: the Amazônia, Cerrado, Caatinga, Mata Atlântica, Pantanal and Pampa. “Biome” is defined as a collection of life (plant and animal) constituted by the grouping of contiguous vegetation types identifiable on a regional scale with similar geoclimatic conditions and shared history, which results in a unique biological diversity. The names used were the most common and popular in general associated with the predominant type of vegetation or relief, as in the case of Pantanal biome, which is the highest provincial flooded surface of the world. </p>

          <p>The Amazon Biome is defined by the climatic region, forest physiognomy and geographic location. The Atlantic Forest biome, which occupies the entire Brazilian continental east Atlantic coast and stretches inland in the Southeast and South, is defined by the predominant forest vegetation and diverse relief. The Pampa, restricted to Rio Grande do Sul, is defined by a set of field vegetation in plain relief. The predominant vegetation in the Cerrado biome in Brazil, second in size, extends from the Maranhão coast to the Midwest and the Caatinga Biome, typical of semi-arid climate of the northeastern backlands.  The map is a result of a partnership between the Brazilian Ministry of Environemnt (MMA) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

          <p>While many bird species are widespread, over 2,500 are endemic and restricted to an area smaller than 5 million hectares (restricted-range species). BirdLife International has mapped every restricted-range species using geo-referenced locality records. Through this process, they identified regions of the world—known as “Endemic Bird Areas” (EBAs)—where the distributions of two or more of these species overlap.</p>

          <p>Half of all restricted-range species are globally threatened or near-threatened, and the other half remain vulnerable to loss or degradation of habitat. The majority of EBAs are also important for the conservation of restricted-range species from other animal and plant groups. The unique landscapes where these bird species occur, amounting to just 4.5% of the earth's land surface, are high priorities for broad-scale ecosystem conservation.</p>

          <p>Geographically, EBAs are often islands or mountain ranges, and vary considerably in size, from a few hundred hectares to more than 10,000,000 hectares. EBAs also vary in the number of restricted-range species that they support (from two to 80). EBAs are found around the world, but most (77%) of them are located in the tropics and subtropics.</p>

          <p>Created by the <a href="http://www.zeroextinction.org/">Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE)</a>, this data set shows 587 sites for 920 species of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, conifers, and reef-building corals. The species found within these sites have extremely small global ranges and populations; any change to habitat within a site may lead to the extinction of a species in the wild. To meet AZE Extinction Site status, a site must:</p>
          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li>Contain at least one Endangered or Critically Endangered species</li>
            <li>Be the sole area where an Endangered or Critically Endangered species occurs</li>
            <li>Contain greater than 95% of either the known resident population of the species or 95% of the known population of one life history segment (e.g. breeding or wintering) of the species</li>
            <li>Have a definable boundary (e.g., species range, extent of contiguous habitat, etc.)</li>
          </ul>

          <p>Launched in 2005, the Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) engages 83 non-governmental biodiversity conservation organizations working to prevent species extinctions. The AZE identifies and safeguards places where species evaluated to be Endangered or Critically Endangered by the <a href="http://www.iucn.org">International Union for Conservation of Nature</a> are restricted to single remaining sites.</p>

              <p>Tiger Conservation Landscapes were created under the assumption that suitable habitat depends on quality and size of land cover and prey base.</p>

              <p>Land cover data was problematic in certain geographies due to the presence of tree plantations. In some cases, forest cover was overestimated or underestimated.</p>

              <p>The tiger location database, on which this data set was built, is incomplete for some regions, and the data comes from a variety of sources and research methods.

          <p>Tiger Conservation Landscapes (TCLs) are large blocks of contiguous or connected area of suitable tiger habitat that that can support at least five adult tigers and where tiger presence has been confirmed in the past 10 years. The data set was created by mapping tiger distribution, determined by land cover type, forest extent, and prey base, against a human influence index. Areas of high human influence that overlapped with suitable habitat were not considered tiger habitat.</p><p>Tigers require a large area to survive. Accordingly, habitat loss is a major cause of the species’ rapid decline. Before this data set, many countries containing tigers did not have spatially explicit tiger habitat maps necessary to develop habitat conservation and management plans. Among others, this information gap was an impetus to developing the TCL data set.</p>

          <p>This data set displays 29 Tx2 Tiger Conservation Landscapes (Tx2 TCLs), defined areas that could double the wild tiger population through proper conservation and management by 2020.</p>
          <p>The number of wild tigers has declined from an estimated 100,000 in the early 1900s to a current estimate of around 3,500 adult animals. In response to this rapid decline, government officials convened in November 2010 to endorse the St. Petersburg Declaration, pledging to double the wild tiger population by 2020. To aid in this effort, Wikramanayake and his team conducted a landscape analysis of tiger habitat to determine if a recovery of such magnitude is possible. They identified 29 Tiger Conservation Landscapes with potential for doubling wild tiger population with proper conservation and management.</p>

Corridors are defined as existing forests connecting current Royal Bengal tiger meta-populations in Nepal and India.</p>
          <p>The TAL is spread over 4.95 million hectares, linking 14 transboundary protected areas across Nepal and India. This landscape has the second largest population of rhinos, one of the highest densities of tiger populations, and is home to the Asiatic elephant. In Nepal, TAL encompasses 2.31 million hectares extending over 14 districts and includes 75 percent of the remaining forests of lowland Nepal.  In addition, TAL was recognized as a WWF Global 200 ecoregion and spans three Ramsar sites and two World Heritage Sites.</p>

          <p>The <a href="http://www.v-c-s.org" target="_blank">Verified Carbon Standard</a> (VCS) is the world’s most widely used voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction program. VCS projects are developed across a wide range of sectoral scopes, including those classified within the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. These projects reduce emissions from forest-related activities around the world and apply robust GHG accounting methodologies to quantify such emission reductions, which are independently verified and transparently registered.</p>

          <p>This layer shows VCS projects categorized as REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), IFM (Improved Forest Management) and ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation).  More detail on the VCS program and these project categories can be found in the <a href="http://www.v-c-s.org/program-documents" target="_blank">VCS Standard and VCS AFOLU Requirements</a> documents.</p>

          <p>In addition to these project activities, more than a dozen national and subnational jurisdictions around the world are applying the <a href="http://www.v-c-s.org/JNR" target="_blank">VCS Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+</a>(JNR) framework to account for the emission reductions generated by their REDD+ policies and measures. This information will be added in the future as these programs register under the VCS.</p>

Easements are known yet not in NCED because, 1) they have not been digitized, 2) they were withheld from NCED, or 3) the NCED team is still working with the easement holders to collect the information.</p>

            <p>Approximately 70% of known land trusts are included in the Census; however, the Census gives us a good base number for comparison with NCED.

          <p>A conservation easement, according to the Land Trust Alliance, is “a legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust or government agency that permanently limits uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values.” The National Conservation Easement Database (NCED) is the first national database of conservation easements in the United States. Voluntary and secure, the NCED respects landowner privacy and will not collect landowner names or sensitive information. This public-private partnership brings together national conservation groups, local and regional land trusts, and state and federal agencies around a common objective. The NCED provides a comprehensive picture of the estimated 40 million acres of privately owned conservation easement lands, recognizing their contribution to America’s natural heritage, a vibrant economy, and healthy communities.</p>

          <p>Before the NCED was created no single, nationwide system existed for sharing and managing information about conservation easements. By building the first national database and web site to access this information, the NCED helps agencies, land trusts, and other organizations plan more strategically, identify opportunities for collaboration, advance public accountability, and raise the profile of what's happening on-the-ground in the name of conservation.</p>

          <p>With the initial support of the <a href="http://www.usendowment.org/" target="_blank">U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities</a>, NCED is the result of a collaboration between five environmental non-profits: <a href="http://www.landscope.org/connect/find/partners/tpl/" target="_blank">The Trust for Public Land</a>, <a href="http://www.ducks.org/" target="_blank">Ducks Unlimited</a>, <a href="http://www.landscope.org/connect/find/partners/defenders/" target="_blank">Defenders of Wildlife</a>, <a href="http://www.landscope.org/connect/find/partners/cbi/" target="_blank"> Conservation Biology Institute</a>, and <a href="http://www.natureserve.org/" target="_blank">NatureServe.</a></p>

          <p>This layer shows protected areas that are managed by the national government, under the jurisdiction of the National Service of Natural Protected Areas (SERNANP). These areas are divided in three categories of use: indirect use, direct use, and reserved zone.</p>

          <strong>Areas of indirect use</strong>

          <p>In indirect areas, the extraction of natural resources or other types of environmental modification are not allowed. These areas only permit non-manipulative scientific investigation and tourist, recreational, educational, and cultural activities under regulated conditions. The following are indirect use areas:</p>
          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li><strong>National Parks:</strong>  created in areas that represent the large ecological units in the country. In these areas, SERNANP protects the ecological integrity of one or more ecosystems, the associations of wild plants and animals, successional and evolutionary processes, as well as landscape and cultural characteristics. In this areas, hunting, ranching, farming, timber, or mining activities, or any activity that exploits natural resources, cannot be developed.</li>
            <li><strong>National Sanctuaries:</strong> areas where the habitat of a species or a community of flora or fauna is protected, as natural formations of scientific interest and national importance.</li>
            <li><strong>Historical Sanctuaries:</strong> areas that in addition to protecting natural values, show the the monumental and archaeological heritage of the country, or are areas where outstanding historical events took place.</li>
          </ul>

          <strong>Areas of direct use</strong>

          <p>In direct use areas, the use of natural resources is allowed, primarily by local people, under the guidelines of a Management Plan approved and supervised by the relevant national authority. The following are direct use areas:</p>
          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li><strong>National Reserves:</strong> areas dedicated to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, including commercial use, of wild flora and fauna under management plans, with the exception of commercial forest use for timber</li>
            <li><strong>Landscape Reserves:</strong> areas where environments with geographical integrity are protected, housing important natural, cultural, and aesthetic values. If the prior zonification allows it, these areas can permit traditional use of natural resources, scientific investigation, tourism, and human settlements. Activities that cause notable changes in the landscape and the value of the area are excluded</li>
            <li><strong>Protected Forests:</strong> areas that are established to protect important watersheds, the banks of rivers and other water bodies, and stop erosion of fragile lands. In this areas, the use of resources and the development of activities are allowed, provided that those activities do not affect vegetation cover, fragile soils, or water flow.</li>
            <li><strong>Communal Reserves:</strong>  areas dedicated to the conservation of wild flora and fauna for the benefit of neighboring rural people who are using resources traditionally. The use and commercialization of resources is done under management plans, approved and supervised by the government authority and conducted by the beneficiary populations.</li>
            <li><strong>Hunting Preserves:</strong> areas dedicated to the use of wild fauna through the regulated practice of sport hunting.</li>
            <li><strong>Wildlife Refuges:</strong> areas that require active intervention to guarantee the maintenance and recuperation of habitats and populations of particular species. These areas exclude commercial use of natural resources that could significantly change the habitat.</li>
          </ul>

          <strong>Reserved Zones:</strong>
          <p>In addition to the above categories, Reserved Zones are established as a transitory category in areas that have the conditions necessary to be considered as a natural protected area, but that require additional study to determine their extension and category, among other things.</p>

          <p>Esta capa muestra aquellas áreas protegidas administrado por el gobierno nacional, bajo la jurisdicción del Servicio Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (SERNANP). Estas áreas son divididas en tres categorías de uso: uso indirecto, uso directo, y zona reservada.</p>

          <strong>Áreas de uso indirecto</strong>

          <p>Las áreas de uso indirecto son aquellas de protección intangible, en las que no se permite la extracción de recursos naturales y ningún tipo de modificación del ambiente natural. Estas áreas solo permiten la investigación científica no manipulativa y actividades turísticas, recreativas, educativas y culturales bajo condiciones debidamente reguladas. Son áreas de uso indirecto:</p>
          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li><strong>Parques nacionales:</strong> creados en áreas que constituyen muestras representativas de las grandes unidades ecológicas del país. En ellos se protege la integridad ecológica de uno o más ecosistemas, las asociaciones de flora y fauna silvestre, los procesos sucesionales y evolutivos, así como características paisajísticas y culturales. En ellos no se pueden desarrollar actividades cinegéticas, ganaderas, pastoriles, madereras o mineras, o en general todas aquéllas que supongan la explotación de los recursos naturales.</li>
            <li><strong>Santuarios nacionales:</strong> áreas donde se protege el hábitat de una especie o una comunidad de flora y fauna, así como formaciones naturales de interés científico y paisajístico y de importancia nacional.</li>
            <li><strong>Santuarios históricos:</strong>áreas que además de proteger espacios que contienen valores naturales relevantes, constituyen el entorno de muestras del patrimonio monumental y arqueológico del país o son lugares donde se desarrollaron hechos sobresalientes de la historia nacional.</li>
          </ul>

          <strong>Áreas de uso directo</strong>

          <p>Son aquellas que permiten el aprovechamiento de recursos naturales, prioritariamente por las poblaciones locales, bajo los lineamientos de un Plan de Manejo aprobado y supervisado por la autoridad nacional competente. Son áreas de uso directo:</p>
          <ul class='bullets'>
            <li><strong>Reservas Nacionales:</strong> áreas destinadas a la conservación de la diversidad biológica y la utilización sostenible, incluso comercial, de los recursos de flora y fauna silvestre bajo planes de manejo, con excepción de las actividades de aprovechamiento forestal comercial con fines madereros.</li>
            <li><strong>Reservas Paisajísticas:</strong> áreas donde se protege ambientes cuya integridad geográfica muestra una relación armoniosa entre el hombre y la naturaleza, albergando por ello importantes valores naturales, culturales y estéticos. Si la zonificación del área así lo prevé, pueden permitirse el uso tradicional de recursos naturales, los usos científicos y turísticos y los asentamientos humanos. Las actividades que signifiquen cambios notables en las características del paisaje y los valores del área están excluidas.</li>
            <li><strong>Bosques de Protección:</strong> áreas que se establecen para proteger las cuencas altas o colectoras, las riberas de los ríos y de otros cursos de agua y, en general, para proteger contra la erosión a las tierras frágiles que así lo requieran. En ellos se permite el uso de recursos y el desarrollo de actividades que no afecten la cobertura vegetal, los suelos frágiles o cursos de agua.</li>
            <li><strong>Reservas Comunales:</strong> áreas destinadas a la conservación de la flora y fauna silvestre en beneficio de las poblaciones rurales vecinas las cuales, por realizar un uso tradicional comprobado, tienen preferencia en el uso de los recursos del área. El uso y comercialización de recursos se hace bajo planes de manejo, aprobados y supervisados por la autoridad y conducidos por los mismos beneficiarios.</li>
            <li><strong>Cotos de Caza:</strong> son áreas destinadas al aprovechamiento de la fauna silvestre a través de la práctica regulada de la caza deportiva.</li>
            <li><strong>Refugios de Vida Silvestre:</strong> áreas que requieren intervención activa para garantizar el mantenimiento y recuperación de hábitats y poblaciones de determinadas especies. Se excluyen el aprovechamiento comercial de recursos naturales que puedan provocar alteraciones significativas del hábitat.</li>
          </ul>

          <strong>Zonas Reservadas</strong>
          <p>Además de las categorías mencionadas, las Zonas Reservadas se establecen de forma transitoria en aquellas áreas que, reuniendo las condiciones para ser consideradas como áreas naturales protegidas, requieren la realización de estudios complementarios para determinar, entre otras cosas, su extensión y categoría.</p>

          <p>This layer shows conservation areas that are created partially or totally on private property. The environmental, biological, or scenic properties of this land are complementary to the coverage of national PAs, supporting biodiversity conservation and increasing the opportunities for scientific investigation, education, and tourism. Lands located inside of buffer zones are prioritized for private PAs.</p>
          <p>The recognition of private PAs is based in an agreement between the State and the owner of the land with the objective of conserving biodiversity for a renewable 10+ year period. A breach of the obligations of the agreement on the part of the land owner results in the loss of recognition as a private PA.</p>

          <p>Esta capa muestra áreas de conservación creadas en parte o en la totalidad de predios de propiedad privada cuyas características ambientales, biológicas, paisajísticas u otras análogas, pueden complementar la cobertura de las Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANP) nacionales, aportando a la conservación de la diversidad biológica e incrementando la oferta de oportunidades para la investigación científica, la educación y el turismo especializado. Para el reconocimiento del Área de Conservación Privada (ACP) se priorizan aquellos predios ubicados en las zonas de amortiguamiento de las ANP de administración nacional.</p>
          <p>El reconocimiento de las ACP se basa en un acuerdo entre el Estado y el titular del predio a fin de conservar la diversidad biológica en dicho predio por un período no menor a 10 años renovables. El incumplimiento de las obligaciones de este acuerdo por parte del titular del predio determina la pérdida de su reconocimiento como ACP.</p>

  <p class='source_category_description'>Data compiled under “People” indicate areas over which indigenous peoples or local communities have rights over land and/or certain resources.</p>

  <p class='source_category_description'>The laws of many countries separate land rights from resource rights. Legally recognized land rights extend to the land and certain resources associated with the land, depending on the nature of the right. The right to the land and certain resources include some combination of rights of access, use, management, exclusion, and alienation. Similarly, legally recognized resource rights can cover some combination of the right to access, use, manage, exclude, or alienate forests, wildlife, or other resources. Whether rights to the land or resources, the law may recognize their rights in perpetuity or for a limited period of time. </p>

              <p>This data set displays the boundaries of areas designated as Indigenous Lands in Brazil. Indigenous Lands legally recognize indigenous peoples’ perpetual rights of access, use, withdrawal, management, and exclusion over the land and associated resources. Alienation of the land is prohibited. However, commercial use of forest resources is permitted, but cutting trees for sale requires approval by the National Legislature. Rights to subsoil resources may be obtained only with the approval of the National Legislature and after consultation with the affected indigenous peoples. This data set includes Indigenous Lands that are officially registered and those at various stages of the registration process.</p>

              <p>A Reserve legally recognizes a tribal group’s perpetual right of access, use, withdrawal, management, and exclusion over land and its associated resources. The land remains officially owned by the British Crown and administered by either the Canadian Federal or Provincial Governments. Alienation of Reserve land is prohibited, except to the British Crown. Reserve land may be allocated to individual members of the tribe by a tribal Council in the form of Certificates of Possession with the approval of the Minister of Indian Affairs. Certificates of Possession entitle a member of the tribe to beneficial use and enjoyment of a specific area in the Reserve, as well as the right to transfer the land through sale, lease, will, or otherwise to other members of the tribe subject to the approval of the Minister of Indian Affairs.</p>

              <p>Native Title is generally the legal recognition of the rights of indigenous groups to land and resources. The specific rights vary depending on whether the area is subject to competing legal rights, such as private ownership or leases, as well as the customary rights exercised over the area. Native title could grant rights of access, use, withdrawal for subsistence, and, in some cases, rights of management and exclusion.</p>

          <p>The inalienable Aboriginal freehold lands data set represents boundary and attribute information for land parcels, granted to incorporated Aboriginal groups through the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act of 1976, which are greater than 40 hectares. Aboriginal land is private property owned under special freehold title. It is inalienable, meaning it cannot be bought, acquired, or forfeited. The inalienable Aboriginal freehold is granted as a communal title (where land is held collectively by a group, rather than by individuals), and is the strongest form of title in Australia. This title gives Aboriginal groups the power to control the direction and pace of development on their land. The data set only includes Aboriginal lands that are officially registered.

Māori customary lands belong to the Crown but are communally held by Māori in accordance with customary values and practices, generally referred to as tikanga Māori. Māori freehold lands are Māori customary lands that have been converted, through application to the Māori Land Court, to the titled, private possession of Māori individuals or small groups (fewer than five owners). Most Māori land falls under the category of Māori freehold land. The Native Lands Act of 1862 created the Māori Land Court, which oversees the administration of freehold land titles.</p>

Community forests legally recognize a community’s ownership rights to forest resources, both timber and non-timber. It includes the right to access, use, withdraw for commercial purposes or subsistence, and exclude others from the forest. The land remains owned by the Cameroonian Government. The community’s rights to forest resources are renewed every five years as long as the community complies with the Community Forest Management Agreement. A community may also contract with a third party to commercially harvest timber.</p>

It was developed by a team of scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California; the University of Maryland, College Park; and Woods Hole Research Center, Falmouth, Massachusetts. The map was created using 2.5 million carefully screened, globally distributed laser pulse measurements from space.

    <h3 class='overview_title'>Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)</h3>
    <p>Many figures on the country pages come from the FAO’s Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA). As stated on the <a href='http://www.fao.org/forestry/fra/fra2010/en/' target='_blank'>FAO website</a>, the FRA is a comprehensive assessment of forests and forestry that examines the current status and recent trends for different variables covering the extent, condition, uses and values of forests. To create the report, information was collated from 233 countries and territories for four points in time: 1990, 2000, 2005 and 2010. FAO worked closely with countries and specialists in the design and implementation of FRA 2010 - through regular contact, expert consultations, training for national correspondents and ten regional and subregional workshops. More than 900 contributors were involved, including 178 officially nominated national correspondents and their teams.

    <p>The country pages also present data from <a href='http://faostat.fao.org/' target='_blank'>FAOSTAT</a>, FAO’s platform for data collection and dissemination. According to FAO, the FAOSTAT <a href='http://faostat3.fao.org/faostat-gateway/go/to/download/G2/*/E' target='_blank'>Emissions Land Use database</a> provides country-level estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on FAOSTAT activity data using Tier 1 computations, following 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National GHG Inventories. Changes in carbon stocks and ecosystem function linked to anthropogenic activities such as land-use change and land management determine emissions and removals of GHG that are reported by countries for the IPCC Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) categories. To learn more, visit the <a href='http://faostat.fao.org/' target='_blank'>FAOSTAT website</a>.</p>

    <p>Data on the economic value and employment in national forestry sectors are reported from “Contribution of the forestry sector to national economies, 1990-2006” by A. Lebedys.

    <p>Figures for tree cover, loss, and gain presented on the country and global overview pages were calculated using tabular data from a 2013 publication, “<a href='http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6160/850' target='_blank'>High-Resolution Global Maps of 21st-Century Forest Cover Change</a>" by Hansen <em>et al</em>.</p>

    <h3 class='overview_title'>European Space Agency (GlobCover)</h3>
    <p>Data from the European Space Agency’s GlobCover was used to visualize tree cover on the country pages. As stated on the <a href='http://due.esrin.esa.int/globcover/' target='_blank'>ESA website</a>, GlobCover is an initiative which began in 2005 in partnership with a number of organizations. The aim of the project was to develop a service capable of delivering global composites and land cover maps using input observations from the 300m MERIS sensor on board the ENVISAT satellite mission. ESA makes available the land cover maps, which cover 2 periods: December 2004 - June 2006 and January - December 2009. To learn more, visit the <a href='http://due.esrin.esa.int/globcover/' target='_blank'>GlobCover website</a> or <a href='http://due.esrin.esa.int/globcover/LandCover2009/Globcover2009_V2.3_Global_.zip' target='_blank'>download the 2009 GlobCover map</a>.</p>

    <h3 class='overview_title'>The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI)</h3>
    <p>Figures on forest tenure come from the Rights and Resource Initiative and are based on data adapted from the <a href='http://www.rightsandresources.org/documents/index.php?pubID=1075' target='_blank'>Tropical Forest Tenure Assessment</a>. The goal of the report is to present and analyze the state of forest tenure in much of the world’s tropical forests. As stated on <a href='http://www.rightsandresources.org/programs.php?id=237' target='_blank'>RRI's website</a>, the tenure systems represented by this data is sourced from governments, and therefore only reflects those systems of natural resource management that are legally recognized by those governments. Such officially outlined tenure systems fall under the category of statutory tenure regimes within these studies. The official data often presents an incomplete picture of the institutions that actually manage natural resources, particularly at a local level. To learn more, visit the <a href='http://www.rightsandresources.org/programs.php?id=237' target='_blank'>RRI forest tenure page</a>.</p>

          <p>This layer shows satellite imagery from the Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS sensor (15 meter resolution) and the ISS Theia sensor (5 meter resolution), provided by UrtheCast. The most recent image for an area is shown, though the date range can be modified in the menu. The images are only viewable up to a certain zoom level – 14 for Landsat images and 15 for Theia images. Users can also change the renderer and maximum cloud cover percentage by toggling advanced tools in the menu. The maximum cloud percentage sets the threshold for excluding cloudy images. Images are presented in RGB color (true color) by default, but can also be rendered as other color composites or indices, including NDVI, EVI, NDWI, and false color NIR.</p>

          <p>Satellites can “see” wavelengths of light that the human eye cannot detect, but that can give more information about the Earth’s surface. UrtheCast provides the following renderings of the images:
          <ul class='bullets'><li><strong>RGB (Red Green Blue):</strong> uses information on red, green, and blue light to show the Earth as humans see it.</li>
          <li><strong>Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI):</strong> uses information on red and infrared light to estimate the health of vegetation. This index is mapped from a white to green hue, where green pixels indicate good crop health and white pixels indicate poor crop health or an absence of vegetation.</li>
          <li><strong>Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI):</strong> another vegetation index using red and infrared information. It is more sensitive to variations in canopy structure than NDVI, and is better at controlling background noise.</li>
          <li><strong>Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI):</strong> uses information on green and infrared light to help detect the presence of water in vegetation. The calculated pixel values range from blue to brown - where blue indicates the presence of water, and brown indicates dryer land. It is another tool to determine crop health and condition.</li>
          <li><strong>False color NIR (Near infrared):</strong> shows near infrared light as red, and visible light as green and blue. Vegetation reflects infrared light, so it generally shows up as bright red.</li>
